Thanks to chenry and orange m340i, I removed my ECU in about 5 minutes and it’s boxed up and ready to ship to Mission. Once I get back from vacation next Monday I’m hoping my ECU will be back and ready to be installed. I can’t wait.

That's awesome. I'm jealous. Hoping the OBD flash option becomes a reality soon without requiring the bench unlock. Looking forward to your perspective too.

I would be lying if I told you I’m not a little nervous sending my ECU across the country. Hopefully Fedex doesn’t bungle it up.

Let me know how it works out for ya! I'm also in the same boat. I'm in Georgia, so it'd be a big risk shipping all the way out to California. Eager to hear back

Just posted this to IG...not sure if I can direct link here (I usually link from youtube). Let me know if it's not working. Just some fun video from one of the runs with some nice audio courtesy of CG Precision and Mission Performance - and a good look at the Dinan springs under load

Not sure if the OBD flash will happen anytime soon. Just heard from Alex and I have to latest/most up to date firmware and he said BMW locked it down even more and it took him a while unlock it. I’m hoping with mine being done now it makes it easier for others that send it to him to flash.

Does anyone know if the dealer can re-lock the DME if they discover it's been unlocked?

I just got my DME back this past Thursday and it was truly plug and play, no check engine lights or anything. It runs just like stock but more power, no hiccups and I haven’t even put in my new spark plugs yet. I hoping to do that this week. |

tuning
so right now i have a m340 with a jb plus installed and a bms intake. i’m getting around 380-390 to the wheels and was wondering if a stage 1 or 2 was worth the upgrade and money.

You will notice not only a significant increase in power - but a very linear, oem like, power curve. As I've said before, to me it's as if you checked a factory option box for "add more power" I tried a couple piggybacks (jb+ being one of them) back in 2017 on my old 340 while i was waiting for Alex at Mission to crack the DME and bring a tune to market. When i switched to the flash there was simply no comparison. For my M340 i simply transferred my tune from the 340 to the M340 Now whether that is worth the price of entry to you personally? Let us know what you decide :-) Last edited by chenry; 07-28-2020 at 05:20 PM.. |

chenry Thanks for those pics. Made the removal process super quick.
Sending my DME to Alex after it got re-locked. Excited for the end results after MP stage 2. |

I also read in another thread in the general forum that the most recent update hasn’t been cracked yet so let us know if Alex is able to. |

Just wanna say Alex doesn't fuck around .... if you're someone like me who is not using a 330 or m340 to go race m4s and m3s ... but just want more power and speed out of ur car than what the factory gives you ... Alex is the way to go...

And he’s totally transparent about it I remember a couple years back when he had come to market with the first B58 unlock/flash and he was heading for a dyno near our home. I contacted him and asked if I could swing by and broadcast the session on IG live (my Sons idea not mine was new to me but was cool) for the benefit of the forum. And he said, “sure come on by is what it is…let’s see how things go.” Absolutely didn’t care that people would be watching as he arrived and proceeded to tune and adjust and test a product he would be bringing to market (my battery ran out before he was done but I shared for a good 1.5+ hours or so)….he really gained my respect that day But to your initial point yeah you really don’t want to approach him with…I want my car to beat XX car or make XX HP or beat my buddy on the dyno or shoot flames or run meth on the street….he will politely tell you there our other solutions out their to meet your needs and he is not a good fit for you.
